Miss Nellie G. Baird,
only child of Mrs. Mary Baird, died at her home [in West Middlesex],
Monday night, from consumption, aged 23 years. By her patience and
gentleness in her months of suffering she has taught a silent lesson to
all who knew her. She died happy in her Saviour, and requested all her
young friends to meet her “in that home not made by hands.” The
sympathy of all friends is extended to the bereaved mother.
“Asleep in Jesus’ blessed sleep
From which none ever wake to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.”
[Nellie G. Baird is buried in Haywood Cemetery in Shenango Township. Her mother is buried there also.]
